Three hundred and thirtieth chapters meet on a narrow road (4k)
The shouts of killing on the battlefield have gradually disappeared, and only gasps and moans are left around. Wars in the age of cold weapons are always cruel. The blood and wounds caused by swords are far more intuitive than guns and cannons. However, because there is no fatality rate of hot weapons, in such battles, there are usually a few people who die on the spot, and most of them are "injured" - but in this era, the mortality rate of war is often high, and the main reason is the "wound infection" caused by the inability of magicians to take care of.
This is not the first time Lando has experienced such a war scene, but the smell that is rushing towards him is still terrifying... His fingers trembled slightly, trying to calm down his breathing, but he uncontrollably looked at Nata not far away.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the facts made him realize that his progress over the past six months was not comparable in front of the other side.
Because he had confirmed that the arrow that shot Knight Bousello was from Nata.
This feeling made Lando extremely embarrassed. If the victory in front of him had not dispelled the loss in his heart, he would probably not have the mood to continue standing here. However, after experiencing a life-and-death test, Lando was more open than before. He breathed a sigh of relief. The original thought of "competing" with Roddy finally slowly dissipated because of the unfollowing gap in front of him - even Nata became the target he needed to look up to. How strong can Roddy's strength reach now?
The charge of reinforcements shocked the morale of the soldiers, and the Wellington Knight, who regained the initiative, rushed back and forth three times with great momentum... This "Ghost Knight" was not without temper. He had been traversing the territory of Everta for so many years, and this was the first time he was forced to break through by the enemy... After knowing that the ultimate goal of these guys was to deal with Duke Angma, he would not be polite or sympathetic to the enemy in front of him.
All the enemies who raised their shields to try to resist were chopped into two halves by long swords wrapped in battle. After solving these enemies in front of them, the Wellington Knights did not stop, but like the cavalry team led by Soderol, they led the team forward without stopping and went straight to the caravan camp to support them.
The mobility of the cavalry is undoubtedly reflected here. In comparison, Lando, Nata and others can only deal with those enemies who are still resisting or fleeing here.
After intervening in close combat, Nata was carrying the overly large longbow behind her. She held two daggers in her hand. As the infantry rushed into the scattered enemy formation, the black and red leather armor wandered like a ghost in the scattered enemy group. Her beautiful face never had any expression. Whether the enemy was screaming hideously or begging for mercy, the only thing she received was her light-tongued stab.
Her dagger was as fast as a phantom, crushing the group of infantry soldiers who were wearing only armor but were unable to move with their right agility.
In front of those fully armed infantry, Nata's petite body seemed extremely inconsistent, but she was like a cold sickle, slowly and firmly reaping all the enemies in front of her.
The black and red leather armor gradually became a flag on the battlefield, bringing the remaining soldiers together. In just two minutes, the enemies who were still fighting stubbornly could not withstand the pressure and a large-scale escape occurred...
At this point, Nata, who was at the front of the team, finally stopped - she shook the blood beads on the two daggers, then rotated and inserted them into the skin sheath. The soldiers around her who turned defeat into victory couldn't help but cheer, but Nata did not stop here to celebrate together. She gently shook her arms, which were a little sore because of the battle, but silently withdrew from the cheering crowd.
Nata's personality is always like this. She doesn't like people to share the so-called joy or excitement together. She has a cold face and a calm heart. After experiencing more wars, she will lose the initial messy emotions.
However, just as she had just left the hustle and bustle, a strange feeling suddenly made her stop.
Nata narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes swept across the forest in front of her without any notice. After several wars, what she improved was not only strength, but also a keen perception that she had never had before. Just now, she suddenly felt a strange thing that was being watched.
On the huge battlefield, there were many people looking at Nata, including fleeing enemies and cheering friendly troops, but none of them would bring Nata such an inexplicable sense of crisis.
However, after a careful inspection, she never felt the same feeling again.
Is it just an illusion?
While he was just worried, Lando's voice came to his ears: "Nata, thanks to you who came in time."
She turned her head and Lando, who was in a somewhat embarrassed image in her vision, was looking at her, her eyes were quite complicated - but nothing else could affect Nata's mood. Whether Lando was stronger or weaker than herself, there was actually no difference for Nata. So for his words, Nata just habitually showed a puzzled expression, waiting for Lando's words later.
This expression was no different from Nata in Lando's impression, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - she hadn't changed much after all.
"We just experienced a battle before we met these enemies. If it weren't for you... I mean... Actually - I just want to thank you."
Lando wanted to talk about some of the process, but then he understood that there was no need to say this to Nata. After seeing Nata's current strength, he had completely opened up: the psychological burden of embarrassment or depression actually came from his obsession that he could not let go. The thanks at this time were quite meaningful to let go of his heart.
Nata didn't understand the changes in his heart. It was said that women were complicated. Nata actually had a simple and simpler idea than most men. She thought about it and replied in an official manner: "According to the plan, the team should have arrived here in advance, but because of the problem of crossing the river port, we were late."
"So, Captain Roddy wants me to say sorry to you, of course he will talk to you in person sooner or later
Looking at Nata who spoke these words expressionlessly, Lando still lamented in her heart that Nata was different from before: she had already started to call her "you" to her fellow tribes. Although this did not mean alienation, it proved a fact... She had already developed a sense of belonging to Roddy's team without realizing it.
After saying this, the two of them had no topics to continue talking as before. Lando sighed and smiled reluctantly. He wanted to ask Nata when she would go back to the village to see it, but then he understood that there was no answer to this question. However, Nata rarely spoke: "I will take a group of soldiers here to keep a watch, and you will immediately support the camp with everyone else."
This must have been Roddy's order. Lando also knew that he had no room for rejection. Without hesitation, he nodded and then turned around and left.
At the same time, the cavalry team where Roddy was located had already charged to the camp where the caravan was located.
He was filled with regret at this moment, wishing he could double the speed of the war horses so that he could fight with these damn enemies.
Roddy knew very well that he had been able to "sweep the strong with the weak" and even create "miracles" in the eyes of others. What he relied on the most was not just strength or equipment, but the "knowledge" in his mind that ordinary people could not compare with.
He knows the world more than most people on this continent, and even knows its future direction, so he can always predict the enemy's opportunity and make arrangements in advance.
However, in this operation, the original careful plan showed an unexpected mistake: if the team wanted to arrive at the scheduled location, they had to cross the river in Palling. However, when he led the team to the planned "river crossing point", he found that there was no impression of the ferry there.
In fact, Roddy's memory was not wrong, but what was wrong was "time" - the port where he planned to cross the river was created after the cold current in the winter of 1969 freeze the entire river. In April of 1969, there was nothing here at all.
The key to the implementation of this plan is to grasp the timing, but Roddy made a small mistake, which directly caused the entire team to fail to cross the river bank on time, and he also had to spend time looking for a more suitable crossing point again.
If he hadn't been quick to ask Nokia to find a shallow area in the river that could barely cross the river, I'm afraid they would not have been able to arrive here in time until Wellington's troops were caught up.
However, the team that had tried their best to get here was a step slower. The Chamber of Commerce's camp was besieged by the enemy, and the main force had to choose to break through... In Roddy's eyes, this result only means that his team would suffer a large number of casualties.
So he was extremely angry at this time. He was not calm at all when facing the enemy in front of him. He was so manic that he just wanted to find a target to vent his anger.
Behind the camp carriages, Henry and others fought and retreated, relying on their slight advantages of strength and equipment to resist the siege of the enemy, but they obviously could not cope with the enemy that was several times their own. The remaining dozen people had retreated back to back to the center of the camp. Buffon's left arm was cut open, and the scimitar tied to his right hand had already collapsed. Henry even took off his strength with both hands and could only hold a shield to block the damage. However, for this, several holes were stabbed by a sword. Blood was left along the armor, making his face pale...
"Be careful on the left"
The fat man felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, but he still tried his best to remind Buffon and others of the defense direction - they were not afraid of attacks from different soldiers, but they were most worried that the heavy armored knight with a long spear would charge here. However, just after Henry finished shouting this sentence, he found that the knight suddenly turned his head and was ready to escape.
"What's going on?"
Their vision was covered by enemies and carriages around them, and they had no idea what was going on outside, but then the deafening sound of horse hooves instantly shocked them-
Soderol's team broke into the enemy's formation from behind the enemy and rushed directly into the camp.
The panicked Knight Bar stayed here just to suppress the formation, but he never thought that a cavalry unit with more than 40 people would suddenly rush towards him and the more than ten cavalrymen who stayed here would have thought that such a situation would be possible? The signal was that there was no time to form a defensive formation to resist, so the final result was that he could only choose to turn around and escape immediately.
He kicked the horse's belly frantically, trying to speed up the horse from the battlefield. Hearing the voice behind him became less and less, he mustered up the courage to turn his head and look: the cavalry who rushed to the infantry in his sight was extremely fierce, and he pushed his subordinates over in a crushing manner, but one of them suddenly left the team and actually took the stance of chasing him alone.
The other party was wearing leather armor and a short bow with a strange shape on his back, but there was no arrow in the quiver, so there was obviously no threat... Barr held a heavy sword in his hand and scoffed at the swaying giant axe in his hand - heavy weapons also need strength to swing. Where can such a thin guy use a two-handed battle axe?
He continued to run wildly. After running a hundred meters, Barr realized that he, wearing heavy armor, would definitely be caught up by the other party, so he immediately decided to circle around and turn around to prepare for the attack. He thought to quickly get rid of this guy and then continue to escape to the distance.
He had absolute confidence in his strength. Of course, such "confidence" came more from the heavy armor tailored for him by Viscount Juan. In the battle just now, countless arrows and soldiers' attacks could not even "break the defense", so at this time he did not believe that an unknown cavalry could do what he would do to himself...
So he started a face-to-face charge at Roddy.
The gaze behind the heavy helmet stared at the other party's neck. Barr even thought about how to behead him with a sword. However, when both sides approached ten meters, he suddenly found a faint red light bursting out of the other party's body-
Roddy gritted his teeth and activated the [Tortoise Armor Shield] and [Giant Strike] shared from Nokia.
The pain from the head habitually appeared, and accompanied by the severe pain of electric shock, a force quickly passed on to the right arm holding the battle axe, making Roddy's arm a circle suddenly thicker.
The surface of the leather armor instantly appears as a rock-like gray-brown color due to the special effects of [Tortoise Armor Shield]...
The face of the Barr Knight changed, but at this time he had no time to change his moves. He could only desperately apply the "war energy" to the long sword, and while his body was trying hard to dodge, he made an attack action...
The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. Barr, who considers himself brave, suddenly felt a little afraid due to Rodi's change, and his momentum suddenly fell into a disadvantage - and Rodi's eyes were like torches, completely ignoring the opponent's long sword. The battle axe suddenly drew an arc and swung it out fiercely
The skills of cavalry fighting are as profound as swordsmanship. Roddy has never been good at fighting on horseback. He does not have advanced skills and strong body, and even has strong plate armor as a source of confidence.
But what he has...is the skills.
The battle axe with a red light passed by. [Giant Power Strike] is not just a simple increase in damage, but it explodes a powerful force when the axe blade touches the enemy, which directly acts on the opponent's body to achieve the "repulsive" effect.
"Click"
Barr's long sword hit Roddy's chest, but was firmly blocked by the leather armor protected by the [Tortoise Armor Shield].
"boom--"
The "blood-drinking" swung by, and the explosive air waves first deformed the solid plate armor. The raised armor instantly sank and the axe touched the armor, and then continued to move forward with Barr's body in a destruction.
His strong body was hit by the battle axe and flew backwards, and his whole body showed extremely strange folds due to its huge inertia.
When Roddy's axe swing was completely completed, Barr's body was already twisting, spinning, and breaking from the middle...
